A mere 64 years after their debut, The Rolling Stones make their bravura return with “Foreign Tongues,” their 25th studio album. While “Blue” and “Lonesome” (2016) may still be their elderly high-water mark, “Foreign Tongues” is chock-full of the brand of good-time rock ‘n’ roll that we’ve come to expect from the Stones.
Music lovers will fondly recall the band’s artistic heyday — namely, their quartet of Jimmy Miller-produced masterworks in “Beggars Banquet” (1968), “Let It Bleed” (1969), “Sticky Fingers” (1971) and “Exile on Main St.” (1972) — which had been offset by several late-period misfires. But in recent years, they have rediscovered their mettle.
